Yes, all right. As I pointed out, there appears to be a problem of lack of continuity from one agreement to the next, and the ideal thing would be for the official languages programs to be funded on an ongoing basis. Roads are, and manpower is as well, whereas, if official languages are so important, why are we always forced to come back with five-year agreements, particularly when there are breaks between agreements? If it isn't possible to get that ideal solution, in spite of all of the importance of official languages, there should at least be coordination. I don't know, I'm not in the field of public servants and federal-provincial agreements, but when a five-year agreement is to expire in two years, the work should begin immediately to prepare for the next one and, from the moment one expires, the other should go into effect so that at least there isn't a period of time between the two.
Going back to my example, we have an excellent criminologist in my department. We're going to lose her because there's no budget. The response to the budget application for the criminology program won't be ready for another two years, we're told. I don't necessarily blame the federal government; it seems the province takes a lot of time to prepare its package of applications as well. At least it should be possible to match that. The best, the ideal solution would be to have permanent programs.
